My son is another year older – Where’s the pause button?

Time seems to fly by quicker than I can catch up.

I blink and a moment is gone, a day, a week, another year.


My first, my boy…. my little chubby cheeked rebel has somehow turned into a gangly 15 year old teenager.

How did that happen? I look at him and see his childish smiling face, until I adjust the focus and bring into view the man he’s becoming.


This boy of mine, he makes me proud to call myself mom. This thoughtful, know it all, smart (in both brains and back talking), all rough edges with some soft spots hidden in the middle kid who breaks my heart every inch he grows taller.

Happy Birthday Kid!
You’re gonna go places!

 

(he looks a tad tired does he not? That would be from staying up 2 night in a row until 6 am playing video games with his 3 teen friends who took over our house this weekend! It was fun! lol )
